'Davy' is no different from Axel (if anything, Axel should have been more independant, given that he's a shocktrooper), so what's his motivation to defect? That really did seem to come from nowhere, seeing as they were in the middle of a civil conversation. Also, why didn't Davy take the bridge first? It's a perfectly good tactic and could have saved some of his men's lives. Oh, and if Davy's creating a splinter group, seperate from the 222nd, why does he give a toss about Helioscaunt? Everyone praising this comic for its 'plot' seem to have overlooked a fair few flaws.

Shock troopers aren't independant, in fact, they're bred to be more obidient -- they're the Chancellor's men. I think he didn't take the bridge first because he didn't realize that he should take the bridge first, and that went down as a tactical flaw. He doesn't want to see his commander make a stupid error like he did, so he is taking matters into his own hands, losing it when he hears of the impending failure on Helioscant. Since his commander won't agree with him, and he is in a fit of insanity, he attempts to shoot him.

Try hollow point bullets. When entering a person's body, the force of impact causes it to shatter once inside the body, giving a shotgun effect on the inside of the body. If the soldier was shot in the back, by a hollow-point slug, than the shotgun effect would have happened all down his spine, rupturing it .

Fair enough and all(and I was in jest about the expando-sponge ), but may I just ask you what the purpose of quoting Jinja's post which appears seemingly irrelevent to this subject?

So you're speculating that he not only lost a year because of poor tactical skills, but also shot his superior officer to stop a mistake that would more likely have been caused by himself? Doesn't sound like a successful clone to me - Kams should've put a round through his skull before he left Tipoca.

I didn't like Axel's death, that was really a waste. Dying in only the 6th comic. Meh, it makes me sad.

Overall, it was really cool. Other than his death, I really like it. The renegade clone is cool as wel. While I'm still waiting to see some reallyawesome effects, it's strong, and I really like the Ned bay.

May I ask for a character guide though. It's starting to get a little confusing for me...

What happened was, this 'Commander Davy' had his ship boarded. He realized that he could in essence take the ship back whenever he wanted. He decided to train his men in better combat skills while onboard the ship, to make them elite. That's why he didn't take the bridge back right away, he wasn't in a hurry to get out, he wanted to make his Regiment into an elite division.
